First Method – Nipple Ruler

First Method – Nipple Ruler

  1. Stimulate your nipple to perk up.
  2. Place your nipple into each hole until you find the one that you can comfortably fit your nipples into. Your nipple should be through the hole completely and the ruler should touch the areola at the same time.
  3. Find the best size for you, then add 2-3 mm for the correct flange size. If your nipple is measuring at 25 mm, you should choose the 28 mm flange size.

Use a measuring tape to find the diameter of your nipple in millimeters. Measure the nipple alone, do not include the areola, which is the outer edge around your nipple. Add 2-3 mm to this measurement for your correct flange size.
